A native macOS remote desktop client built on RDPKit — pure Swift, lightweight, and Mac-first.

• Connection Center — a searchable grid of saved PCs with per-device gradient tiles, play-to-connect, context menus, and sort by name or recent use
• Full-bleed sessions — edge-to-edge video under a transparent titlebar, with an animated connecting overlay, a status pill, and a session menu
• Hardware-decoded video — H.264 (AVC420/AVC444) and HEVC via VideoToolbox, presented on the display link for smooth pacing
• No resolution fiddling — the remote desktop starts at your screen's size and follows the window as you resize, HiDPI aware
• Your keyboard, their shortcuts — while a session has focus, ⌘ and ⌃ chords go to the remote desktop (⌘ maps to the Windows key, so ⌘R is Win+R), and modifier state survives focus changes without sticking
• Clipboard both ways — text and files (up to 32 MiB), always-on, one-shot sync, or time-boxed 30-second sharing
• Remote audio — optional RDPSND playback
• Credentials done right — passwords live in your Keychain (or in memory for the current run only), and sessions that need a password ask with an in-window sign-in instead of failing
• Stats for Nerds — a full protocol and rendering diagnostics window, plus an in-session performance overlay chip

Download the latest signed and notarized build from Releases. Requires macOS 14.0 or later. Free and open source.

1. Click Add PC (or press ⌘N) and enter a host. Name, credentials, clipboard, and audio are all optional and editable later.
2. Double-click a card (or hover and hit the play button, or select it and press Return) to connect. If no password is stored, the session window asks you to sign in.
3. The session window opens maximized; the remote desktop re-fits whenever you resize the window. The ⋯ menu in the titlebar holds clipboard, audio, and display controls, the performance overlay, and Stats for Nerds.

Press ⌘? in the app for the full shortcut list and usage details.

Requirements: Xcode 16+ (Swift 6) and XcodeGen to generate the project (the .xcodeproj is not committed).

xcodegen generate
xcodebuild -project RDPeek.xcodeproj -scheme RDPeek \
  -destination 'platform=macOS' -derivedDataPath DerivedData build
open "DerivedData/Build/Products/Debug/RDPeek.app"

Or open RDPeek.xcodeproj in Xcode after generating and run the RDPeek scheme. Run the test suite with xcodebuild test using the same flags; warnings are errors, and swiftlint lint --strict must stay clean. CI runs lint, an unsigned build, and the tests on every push and pull request.

The connection, clipboard, display-control, audio, and credential logic in Sources/Session is adapted from RDPKit's example client, which is the reference implementation for driving RDPPreflightClient.
